i mean they’ve stated they release PvP content as it’s finished and there was literally just a PvP patch like a month ago, were you really hoping for another stronghold map or something?
If I am to give them more money and keep spending time here. Yes I expect something..
Welcome to the general idea of selling and buying something.
Well, No PvP content = no purchase from my side. I put my time & money elsewhere since pvp is a main focus for me but clearly not for Anet, never have been and never will be.
+ the new elite specs IMO from the first presentation, not all to hyped about it. Mesmer, warrior and Engi seemed cool but. Yea we’ll see. I’m just really concerned about the balance. I’d hate to see the new specs being far stronger than everything previous. Forcing us to play it.

I agree with a lot of things here with my experience and wanted to give this thread a bump in order to bring it some more attention.
I brought this up in the GW 2 reddit in hope of getting a discussion about the current PvP state there and what we like to see with the expansion.

Players ear this fight on point crap ,and thats what most necros do , they stand right in the middle of all aoe with 0 invuls and blocks , ofc u gonna die, playets play necr like they play warrior or guard and thats very wrong imo.
Well technically reaper with greatsword was supposed to be in the middle of all things.
So maybe greatsword need some block/evade/invulnerability frames?
Anet is actually really bad on following up on the class design and mechanics.
Guardians are just ridiculous, thiefs lost their way going from being the stealth class to just a stupid jump and do volley class that lands on their but. Etc etc..
But as you said, when they first reveled The Reaper I thought we would be tanky and up front but there are nothing that we can use to make us that tanky chilling machine in the way that they presented it.
What the kitten is Anet doing when they are at work?
Okej cool kids.
FYI prob way better then you at dodging. That is however not the topic. Just you kids acting up with assumptions. Leave that off the table please.
Guardians are, IMO completly wrong designed and stupid. I guess you two both play guardians, you quite fit the profile. Compared to what they do they hurt way to much, they have way to much block, stability, invulnerability and condi cleanse. They dont really do much for the output that they have. Just a class for stoners that are too high to press buttons.
Again, rework it!
Yes I am. Not like the last two seasons. Tried various different builds but I still find myself squishy and lack damage compared to others. We do need something!
I dont even know where to begin with addressing everything thats wrong with guardians…
They are so badly designed. This whole trapper thing is so ridiculous. “Dragon Hunter”, what is the dragon supposed to land on the traps? Or is he supposed to pull a dragon with the rope into the traps? He can pull a dragon?! Why is the “all mighty knight” class a woss class that just hides behind traps like a sissy?
And the gameplay? What do they do? stand and Auto until you walk into their traps.
And their traps deal way to much dmg in pvp! I’ve tanked up my build this season just because Guardians and Thiefs are so ridiculous. But still guards can just delete me. They delete all my friends too. No matter what classes or builds we play. just step on a trap and you loose 80 % of your HP. Just a pixel splash on the screen…
I have just zero respect for the game developers at this point. So weak and weird decisions being made…
Wont spend much more time with GW if this is going to keep up. None of my friends either. This is just something of the worst we ever seen in a game..
Everyone of you who argue differently that this is fine somehow should really try to think and actually look at a Guardian while the abomination is playing.
Rework Guardians!!

Yeah dp is soooo OP, your only role in pvp as dp consist of avoiding fights and afking at empty points.
True its weak, Bs does way to little damage considering the effort to actually land one. My crits usually do between 2- 5K, that’s autos on my necro… So considering all the set up a Backstab requires its far enough rewarding.
And then its the stealth debuff making you vulnerable. Makes it no room for mistakes and RNG to land a high crit. Long Crit if any and 1 miss on your defense and your gone.
I want better damage and more survivability!
As a thief and a necro.
If I are to continue to play this game I’ll have to re-roll mesmer or ranger.
This must be worst patch ever you guys are just way out of hand right now..
Thank you! You just sad everything I’ve been thinking about.
I played thief only since launch on and off. Now I’ve come back for the longest time since launch. 1 month. I figured I get into PvP for real this time. Taking my time to learn I’ve made improvements but when I play with my friends I notice they can do so much more in so many situations (they play other classes) that I get shocked thinking they are super skilled! Like “holy kitten, really nice work man you won that duel or you managed to stand tall for so long??”. Cause these things are just impossible to do for me as a thief.
I started to realize especially after looking at daredevil how its gonna be. Thief lost its way. Stealth arent protecting me good enough, when I’m not in stealth I die too fast. Biggest problem tho are AoE’s hard to avoid in a 3v4 fight, trying to sneak up and get a backstab in usually result in me getting to my target with half health gone even before I managed to land a BS.
And when I land BS i almost do no dmg. I’ve been trying so power necro, boy do I get stuff done there! But my BS on full glass canon does about 5 K if I get the crit going, with necro I just pop two wells and do the same dmg or I can just pop lich critting 7 K each auto.
That’s interesting cause the thief’s BS require a lot of set up while other classes only have to press a button.
Like this: [Black Powder] + [Heartseeker] + ACTUALLY GETTING BEHIND THE TARGET + BS HAVE TO CRIT = success
Meanwhile the necro: press 5 (lich), auto attack = Boom you do all those steps by just letting it auto and do even more dmg. Or you could just put out your two wells and do more than that damage to multiple targets.
So after trying necro, a total noob at it I got so much more power, control, sustain even after just playing it for 1 hour. Thief I have been playing for 3 years. That tells me how unrewarding it is to play thief. All that set up that a Back stab requires and how exposed you are after considering you have to speck full damage makes the damage out put far from enough!..
And daredevil is like a WoW or Diablo 3 Monk. Not that stealthy sneaky class that I singed on to play so I wont even try it. I choose thief because its a stealth class but not anymore it seems.
